And, that’s exactly what this 21-year-old named Nila Morton from Greenville, South Carolina needed in her life so the internet came to her rescue.
Why, you ask? Morton was born with a rare condition called Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy. For those who don’t know, this condition causes severe muscle weakness that requires you to use a wheelchair to get around.
In an interview with Buzz Feed News Morton said:
I usually don’t post pictures of myself when I have a nice dress on or when I go out because I get nervous about comments since I’m not society’s view of disability.
I was kinda nervous about posting bc this is way outta my comfort zone & Ik some ppl will judge but I felt beautiful 🥰🖤✨ pic.twitter.com/sr0RyOHda4

You were in charge of what people were looking at, though. That’s balls. Hope no one tries to take that power from you or tell you how you should be viewed.
